Hi,

I think most Ambassadors are aware of the different SIGs, but some are hard to support in terms of getting them new contributors...and I guess the Secondary Arches group is one of them. On one hand, hardly anyone would come to the idea to run Fedora on such a arch (or have access to such an arch and the necessary knowledge), on the other hand the ambassadors might not have the proper knowledge to detect when someone we're talking to would be the right person to contribute to that group (like when they're speaking of their server farm, I wouldn't recognize whether he's speaking about some s390 servers or not).

But this can be helped: any SIG-member is always welcome to join the Ambassadors and help promote Fedora and their very own work at events themselves! That's actually pretty much how this Ambassadors stuff works and I guess there's hardly an Ambassador, that is not member of any SIG or another Project within Fedora (would be interesting to see the statistics on this, though). Of course, some were first Ambassador and then joined other groups and some were first in another group and then became Ambassador.

Regards,

Dear Ambassadors,

I would like to take the opportunity to make you all aware of all the SIGs and Sub-groups we have within the Fedora Project see:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Project_Wiki

In particular I had a call for help from one of the Secondary Arches organizers, as they need more package maintainers and people who are willing to get involved in the Secondary Arches development.
Please see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs and scroll down to Secondary Arches, within the SIG listing.
If you know anyone, who is interested in any SIG or sub-group, then please make them aware of all the options we have, on how they can participate, and how to get contacts or find more information on sub-projects or SIGs.

Thank you all for your help spreading the word out there.

Regards,

Tristan
